Color and ALS detection
The Color and ALS detection feature provides red, green,
blue and clear light intensity data. Each of the R, G, B, C
channels have a UV and IR blocking lter and a dedicated
data converter producing16-bit data simultaneously. This
architecture allows applications to accurately measure
ambient light and sense color which enables devices to
calculate color temperature and control display backlight.

Proximity detection
The Proximity detection feature provides distance mea-
surement (E.g. mobile device screen to user’s ear) by pho-
todiode detection of reected IR energy (sourced by the in-
tegrated LED). Detect/release events are interrupt driven,
and occur whenever proximity result crosses upper and/
or lower threshold settings. The proximity engine features
oset adjustment registers to compensate for system
oset caused by unwanted IR energy reections appear-
ing at the sensor. The IR LED intensity is factory trimmed
to eliminate the need for end-equipment calibration due
to component variations. Proximity results are further im-
proved by automatic ambient light subtraction.
